sented by more than 3,000 officers,
15 of w'hom are generals. The Uni-

Navy personnel ask their depend-
ents to follow certain precaution-
ary procedures in handling gov-
ernment checks.
All Navy officers and men are
requested by the Secret Service to
advise their dependents to (take
these precautions:
1. Be at home, or have a mem-
ber of the family at home, when
your Navy check is due to arrive.
If you remove it from the mail box
immediately it cannot be stolen by
a check thief.
2. Be sure to have a deep, strong
mail box, with, your name clearly
printed on it. Keep it locked.
3. If possible, arrange with your
mail carrier to signal when he de-
livers your check.
4. Notify your postmaster if you
change your addresss.
5. Cash your check at the same
place each month. This will make
to insist upon proper identifica-
tion.
6. Do not fold, pin or mutilate
your allowance or allotment
checks. This is very important to
yon.

“When the 'history of this war is
written,” he said( “I am certain
that much of the credit for victory
will go to the men and wjomen of
our rural districts. Certainly in no
wiar has the production of food
played so vital a part and certain-
ly no group has rallied behind the
war effort with more eagerness
and devotion. We of the W:ar Man-
